trying to define a session scope form bean

[Heather Buch]

Hi,

What is the proper way to do this in struts-config.xml?

Say I have this bean:

<form-bean name="scheduleform"
type="mysite.myapp.ScheduleForm"/>

and I want to use it in two actions, editSchedule, and saveSchedule.

On editSchedule, I want scheduleform to be stored in the session.

On saveSchedule, I want scheduleform to be pulled out of the session that
editSchedule stored it in, but I do not need it stored back into the
session after it's used by SaveScheduleAction.

<action path="/editSchedule"
type="mysite.myapp.student.ViewScheduleAction"
name="scheduleform"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/mainmenu.jsp">
<forward name="success" path="/editschedule.jsp"/>
</action>

<action path="/saveSchedule"
type="mysite.myapp.student.SaveScheduleAction"
name="scheduleform"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/editschedule.jsp">
<forward name="success" path="/viewSchedule.do"/>
</action>

So where do I define the session scope for this form?


Also, is a session-scope form bean an acceptable place to transport objects from
one Action to another?

There is more to this story, but I'll explain that after I (hopefully :-)) have an answer to this question.

Thanks,

Heather Buch
